Conflict Minerals Compliance

Assess Risk, Collect Supplier Data, and Accurately Report to SEC

The United States Dodd-Frank Act, Section 1502, is landmark legislation that requires manufacturing companies to understand and disclose the use of minerals mined in or around the war-torn region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Companies listed on the U.S. stock market have until May 31 each year to disclose whether any Conflict Minerals are found in their products. And companies not directly regulated by the SEC will be impacted too as audit requirements are pushed down through the entire supply chain including privately-held and international companies.

What You Need to Do

The United States Dodd Frank Act, Section 1502, requires manufacturing companies to identify and disclose to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) the source of 3TG minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold) used in their products when those minerals originate from or around the war-torn region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Automate the collection and validation of reasonable country of origin inquires (RCOI)

Systematically perform due diligence and determine the source of 3TGs from the DRC

Assess and report on conflict minerals status of parts, products and suppliers

Provide evidence of due diligence and a data-rich audit trail
